Book News
In case you missed it, earlier this month I launched a new series, SUPER YOU, with the first book THE POWER OF FLIGHT. The series is a pick-your-path style format, where YOU are the main character and mysteriously gain the ability to FLY! Through a series of choices you make, your story will lead you on the path to becoming either a superhero OR a supervillain. I was thrilled to write this book with my childhood friend and one of the most talented writers I know, Andrea Menotti (check out the photo of us from when we met in elementary school!).
The book is also filled with fun comic strip style graphics illustrated by superhero expert Yancey Labat.
I hope you’ll share the book with the readers in your life who enjoy adventures, science fiction, and superheroes! I would also be very grateful for reviews and anything you can do to help spread the word about the series.

If you haven’t checked it out, you can see embarrassing photos and learn secrets about us on the Renegades website, and take part in giveaways, events, and more. Earlier this week, we had a special zoom chat for educators who entered into a raffle (see photo below). Follow us on social media for more opportunities!
What I’m Reading
I’m making a point of reading some of the titles by author friends that came out during the pandemic since I know how hard it was to launch a title over in 2020 and 2021. It’s honestly still challenging for a multitude of reasons, but at least things are opening up now for book promotion. Next on my list is THAT THING ABOUT BOLLYWOOD by Supriya Kelkar. It’s a fantastic premise, and I’m excited about the Bollywood connection. Plus, I’m a huge fan of Supriya’s writing. What are your favorite titles from the pandemic years?
I know the past few weeks have been extraordinarily difficult and I am sending you all love and wishes for health and peace.
